Do I deduce from this that it isn't wise to change it to > ReadWrite? Definitely not wise to change from ro. NTFS is not your typical filesystem, and it's only been recently that Linux has been able to write to NTFS with any measure of reliability. If you were to change the ro to rw, and then managed to write something to the NTFS partition, you more than likely wouldn't have a readable NTFS partition anymore. There is the NTFS-3G project http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ that have a stable way to write to NTFS. I've never been brave enough to try it on any NTFS partitions, so I cannot vouch for how good this driver really is... maybe someone here has played with it though, and can comment on it. I believe that the NTFS-3G driver is in the Packman repositories... I think I've seen it there...

I'll find a different way of moving files between Linux and Windows, <sigh> Many thanks to everyone who offered help on this issue. alan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
